Well the device seems to work as my cpu usage drops down from 125% to 10-30%. But the frame rate also drops from about 20 to only 4. There must be something wrong. I tried the 1.01 and the 1.03 driver version with the latest XBMC nightly build (r31938). What's my fault? Installed this device in my Mac mini early 2006 (cpu upgrade to 2.16 GHz).

I did notice that every once in a while, at video startup I get dropped frames, which others are seeing with 10.6.3. Thank you for these instructions, they really helped keep the installation simple.

The Airport/Bluetooth combo card is connected to the board via a tiny ribbon cable. I know this because I just took mine apart and am staring right at it. I was really looking forward to this fixing my stuttering problems on some 1080p HD movies. Good tutorial nonetheless.
